I vote 24..Qe5 too.
Can someone tell me how to get to the latest move instead of going to page 20 and arrowing onwards to the most recent viewsa dn analyses and also maybe the board as folk are saying with the current position on it (from the black side?) . Thanks for setting this up blindcheesecake and know time is short most likely for us all. If we kept this up even if we lose this or draw or win it has been useful for me to hear others views in English rather than just the analysis to see what they think when first confonted with a position and maybe in time we could get a master to help more to delve into positions more accurately if they had time and the interest I guess.

Yep, I don't see any other move here other than Nc6, an exchange of Queens from White next I imagine. This reminds me of another thread about luck in chess - an example here of luck, that the knight, after being stuck out on the flank all game, is able to land on a square which saves our a55?? (for the time being anyway)
I digress, my vote: Nc6
